CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In 2011, more than 80,000 Dr. Oz fans entered for the chance to win a whirlwind trip to New York City culminating in a Heart-to-Heart with the doctor himself. Back by popular demand, Dr. Oz has once again partnered with Metamucil during Heart Health Month to offer his biggest fans another chance to meet him live and in person complete with a trip to the Big Apple and two tickets to “The Dr. Oz Show.”
During February Heart Health Month, Dr. Oz will be focused on educating Americans about taking their heart health into their own hands. Dr. Oz will be sharing simple and effective tips, such as taking a psyllium fiber supplement. Psyllium fiber is proven to help lower total and "lousy" LDL cholesterol* because it forms a thick gel that traps and helps remove some cholesterol, bile acids and waste in the gut.
Tune in to “The Dr. Oz Show” on Wednesday, February 29th to learn more about Dr. Oz’s simple steps to help improve heart health; and keep watching for a special Metamucil giveaway.
